"The top 6 teams in the standings are fighting for the championship. The problem is that "Qarabagh" has no rivals in the competition. Although the legionnaire limit has been abolished, the level of foreigners invited by most clubs is low."
These words were said by the former captain of the Azerbaijani national team, Tarlan Ahmadov.
The experienced expert commented on the first round of the Misli Premier League:
Except for "Qarabagh", the games of other teams do not give hope that they will become champions. The abolition of the legionnaire limit did not make our championship interesting. After the first round of the season, it became clear that "Kapaz", "Gabala" and "Karvan-Yevlax" will fight to stay in the elite. "Imishli" was able to surprise everyone in terms of game and result. "Sumgayit" won the result, but to be honest, the team does not seem to have the potential to be among the prize-winners. According to their squads, my expectations from "Araz-Nakhchivan" and "Neftchi" were higher, but there is nothing in their games that can be called "beautiful football". In the current situation, if the teams cannot show the desired football, they will go to the European Cups and be defeated in the first stage. As I said, the potential of the invited legionnaires is not so high that it will give results. Players should be recruited from academies. We witness a match that generates maximum interest every round. After the first round, we can say that we are watching a mediocre championship," he said in his statement to sport24.az.
It should be noted that one game of the first round - Sabah" - "Qarabagh match was postponed.
